Pro Bono Opportunities
What is Pro Bono?
Pro bono legal services refer to legal work performed voluntarily and without charge by attorneys for individuals or organizations who cannot afford to pay for legal representation. These services aim to provide access to justice for underserved or disadvantaged populations, ensuring that legal assistance is available regardless of one’s financial status. By offering their expertise for free, attorneys help address legal needs and promote fairness within the justice system.
